Introduction


Number of Servings: 10

Ingredients

    12 whole red potatoes (smaller is better)
    extra virgin olive oil
    garlic powder to taste
    kosher salt to taste
    freshly ground black pepper to taste
    optional: chopped chives or chopped bacon for garnish
    other: table salt for boiling water

Directions

Fill a large, heavy pot two-thirds full of water. Generously sprinkle table salt into water, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook just until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Don't overcook them. Remove potatoes and drain.
Preheat oven to 450, with rack on upper middle position.
Cover a large baking pan with foil. Brush foil with plenty of olive oil (be generous, as this prevents sticking.)
When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, gently press down each potato with a potato masher until they are about ˝ inch thick. Lay smashed potatoes on prepared pan. Generously brush tops with olive oil, and don't be shy here!
Sprinkle tops generously with kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chives/bacon if you are using. Don't be afraid to use enough salt.
Bake 20-25 minutes, or just until nicely browned and sizzling!
